Re: Choke rod question.

I didn't have a chance to look at it last night. Will be on it tonight though. I will see if I can make it work. If not, I will post a pic.
Thanks for the help so far ! I've had lots of old cars,...

Re: Choke rod question.
Ok, I tired that, and it worked for a couple days, but comes apart after that. Maybe just a lot of wear on it or something.

Choke rod question.
Hi All, recently acquired a decent 1930 fordor. It has been sitting a long long time. I think it qualifies as a survivor. It's mostly original, and untouched. It runs and drives, but needs some...

Windshield frame.
Anybody know how I can tell the difference between a Model T windshield frame and a Model A frame ? Can I make a Model A frame work on a T ?

Re: What have I got ?
yeah, it looks like some original paint on it. The body is super solid. Sub frame is near perfect. The bottom 2" or so all the way around is rusted through, but it's all pretty much flat steel....

Hi all,
I just got myself a Model T coupe body. Not much left of it, but it has the doors, which I hear is a good thing. I know it's a later one, but does anybody know of any features that would...

Re: Driveline vibration
I went for a drive in this truck on Sunday afternoon. After we put shocks in it. It scared the shit out of me. I think you guys that suggested a total front end rebuild are on the money.

Re: Driveline vibration
You know Dave, we never did go through the front end of that truck. I think we should get under there and give it a good check up.

Re: They said it would happen
Glad I read this. What about aluminum necks ? I have an offset generator mount, and needed to get a neck that shoots out at a different angle, and the one I found is aluminum.

Re: Shoebox group
I've spent some time at shoeboxford.com, lots of good info there. Seems like they are mostly interested in selling parts.
